“So … as a result, we’ve made a three hundred and sixty percent return on Kai Gas, eighty percent on Blue E&M, and thirty percent on OH Entertainnt in the first and second quarters of this year,” Vice President Jang explained by turning the point beams around, and as he spoke, the five company presidents never took their eyes off him. In fact, Jang was as powerful as in our company, just as the Emperor’s second man had more power than the king of other kingdoms; his title was Vice President, but he had to be virtually above other presidents.
“As a result, the assets of Invictus Investnt have also risen by two hundred and sixty percent, and I think this is due to all your hard work.”
Clap clap clap clap… Each president gathered their hands and applauded. They would all be applauded in their company, but here they were applauding. By the ti the applause had died down, I had words for them.
“And as I said, two more companies have beco our subsidiaries. First, as you know, Hyun Young Pharmaceutical is a long-standing and traditional pharmaceutical company that has achieved long-term results in the Korean market. Recently, they’ve been knocking on the international pharmaceutical market through new drug developnt. I’ve decided to invest this ti as I highly approve their growth.”
Chairman Shin Jae-eun and his white hair rose slightly and greeted and other presidents who were younger than him. “Nice to see you all. As CEO Han Sang-hoon said, our company Hyun Young Pharmaceutical has been leading the way to the international market from Korea. During the process, we t CEO Han Sang-hoon and Invictus Investnt, who have made successful investnts, and made a decision to work with them.”
Clap clap clap clap… The audience applauded again, especially Ahn Yong-kyun, president of the Blue E&M, Sapphire TV, applauded a little too much. He clapped overlong and applauded. He seed a bit of an idiot.
Shin Jae-eun, who had been solidifying his face all the ti, laughed a little. He turned to and said, “To be honest, there was a bit of doubt when I first got the offer, but I’m relieved to see the presidents who are doing so well. I’ll ask you for your help.”
I bowed my head a little bit and extended my hand. I hurried to stand up and received his greeting. Clap clap clap clap… Once again, the applause echoed. From what he said, he didn’t seem to be sure what the developnt of their new drug would be like. I knew they were doing their best, but they would have to get the approval of the FDA in the US, which was famous for its strict screening standards.
If they had known about the success of their new drug developnt, they would have bought their own shares to the best of their ability. As was the case with the Kai Gas, I was more likely to believe in the success of the company than the owners of the invested companies were. No, to put it right, I knew more than to “believe.”
“The next announcer is President Chung So-young of Oracle News, the new leader of the Internet news industry.”
Chung So-young got up from her seat. At the sa ti, the eyes of the other presidents turned to her. The mature sexiness flowing out of her seed to attract their attention.
“Hello, presidents. I am Chung So-young of Oracle News. We received a large investnt from CEO Han Sang-hoon last month and beca a subsidiary. Please take good care of us from now on.”
It was a short greeting, but it seed to attract more attention from the three middle-aged n.
I said afterward, “You know, I want to create so synergy between the companies I’ve invested in. Wouldn’t it be better if we could invest in and help each other from an investnt standpoint? Blue E&M is playing the role of the bridge now…”
At my words, President Ahn Yong-kyun bowed deeply.
“I want my subsidiaries to create so synergy together, with gas and Internet broadcasting, and Internet broadcasting and OH entertainnt, in that way. In that sense, I’m not saying it directly, but the reason I invested in Oracle News… You know that.”
Everyone nodded at what I said.
‘Whatever they do these days, the news soon becos an advertisent. As a ga is released, when a new drug cos out, and as a new drama is released, they put a great deal of energy into the advertisent.’
“I’ve already talked about the advantages with President Chung So-young when I invested. Share your contacts today, and be sure to help one another do business.”
I didn’t say it directly at the end, but I made it clear: If anything happens, give the news to Oracle News first!
It was also good for to see the future news. ‘The more news cos from our company, the more likely it will be to appear in future news. If anything is in the news of the future, we can deal with it, good or bad.’
“Then, let’s finish our regular report, and go eat together.”
—————————————-
During the following al ti, I talked with Shin Jae-eun more closely than the other presidents. As I had already had quite an acquaintance with other presidents, I thought that I should get acquainted with Chairman Shin Jae-eun.
“Well, I see. Your father ran a Judo training center?”
“Yes, I suggested he retire, but… even now, he’s almost sixty years old, and he’s still motivated to work. ”
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes, so I recently bought him a building that he had rented… He has been bothered by the building owners all his life, but now he is the owner of the building.”
“You are a devoted son, CEO Han.”
I smiled and nodded. “I’ve received sothing, so I have to answer for it; it’s a son’s responsibility.”
“Oh, I see. CEO Han Sang-hoon, what’s your age this year…”
“I’m thirty.”
“You are very young, and you are very successful.”
“Don’t ntion it.”
But then, Shin asked with his eyes glinting. “I’m sorry to ask you a personal question, but… are you married, by any chance?”
“No. I’m still single.”
“Then the woman you’re dating…”
This was a real personal question. I hesitated for a mont, then said, “Recently, I have had one.”
“Ah… I see.”
Chairman Shin Jae-eun licked his lips with his tongue, as if it was a bit disappointing. I didn’t know what it was. But if I had said no, he would have taken a picture of soone from his phone and shown it to , a daughter or a niece. Now that I had invested three hundred million dollars in Hyun Young Pharmaceutical, if I would enter his son-in-law, I would gain more than that. I watched him sipping soup.
‘I thought he was just talking to as an acquaintance. He is not just an old man.’
I turned to President Kwon Oh-hyuk on the other side, for fear of further stories coming out that way. “President Kwon.”
“Yes, boss.”
President Kwon Oh-hyuk was actually a bit down today, because it recorded the lowest return among the three companies. The thirty percent rise in the first and second quarters was also quite high, but it looked relatively less since even Blue E&M, let alone Kai Gas, had elevated like a rocket. But that would also be different in a little while.
“The… Idol Managent 108 is about to start filming, right? What about the trainees’ practice…?”
“They have been practicing hard for this program. You can look forward to it.”
‘The upcoming Idol Managent 108 is a TV show that creates idol groups through Internet voting, making it one of the hottest topics in the entertainnt industry this year.’
“Okay. If two or three of our people are finalists in the last group, it’s a big hit. Please pay as much attention to that side as possible.”
“Yes, boss.”
‘In particular, the program is designed to bring together Korean, Japanese, and Chinese trainees from all three countries at the sa ti, so it will be very popular during the selection process in the Japanese and Chinese markets, as well as the Korean market. If it succeeds here, it will be a dramatic turnaround for OH Entertainnt, which has had a bad result for years in the idol business.’
“And because it’s a public event anyway… Even with Ahn Yong-kyun…” That was what I was saying.
“Yes, sir. Did you call ?” President Ahn Yong-kyun, who was at the next table, ran up and stuck close to . I had talked low, but he heard it.
I said with a dingy smile, “Oh, you’ve been listening. You know about Idol Managent 108, right?”
“Yes, of course, sir.”
“Is there any way Sapphire TV can push them?”
“There’s a lot were can do. I’ll try decorating the main banner and famous BJs with this content.”
“Yes, then, especially…” I glanced at President Kwon as I said that.
President Ahn Yong-kyun continued, “Of course. We’ll do our best to support OH Entertainnt’s trainees. Our BJs have amazing skills at gathering public opinion.”
“Yes, then…” I glanced at Chung So-young. She nodded like the president of the dia company, blinking even if I didn’t say a word. In a few weeks, she would put out the news like this:
[A fresh look at Heo Yoon-mi from OH Entertainnt]
[Special event launching at Sapphire TV for Idol Manager 108]
At the end of my talk, Chairman Shin Jae-eun also said to President Kwon Oh-hyuk. “Oh, Hyun-joo is from OH Entertainnt?”
“Yes, Chairman. Our company na is OH, which is nad after my na Oh Hyuk, but it also ans Oh Hyun-joo’s. She is a key representing celebrity.”
“Oh, I see. I have to choose a new advertising model for our company’s eye drops this ti, and Oh Hyun-joo seems to fit in because she has a bright and positive image. There is an audition next week. If you have free ti, co and take the audition. I’ll inform them as well as I can.”
“Oh, of course. I’ll surely send her, Chairman!”
Upon hearing that, I saw President Chung So-young once again and she nodded once again. From the ti the ad was released, it would now appear in a banner ad for Oracle News.
‘The more companies, the more synergies we have. If there’s more to co….’ But suddenly, I had an idea, ‘When this thing gets bigger… it’s a whole chaebol system, right?’
‘All the nation’s chaebols are tangled up like cobwebs in this way. It seems to outsource to another company, but it is outsourced to his son’s company. It seems to put an advertisent with another company, but leaves the ad to his daughter’s company. In the end, even though it seems to be investing, it doesn’t spend money, and ends up forming its own league with its own money.
‘As our five companies are together, it is like this. There is no need to ntion chaebols, which have hundreds of subsidiaries in terms of equity ties. Maybe that’s the future of Invictus Investnt: an erging tycoon.
‘… and then, when I am a Master Class… then the Grand Master Class… What’s the condition? If they ask to rule ten, not five…
‘If we go that way, our company may turn into a kind of Invictus Holdings, a holding company, up from a general investnt company. I will beco a chairman, and Vice President Jang will beco a new president who will manage the subsidiaries.
‘Well… what will happen?
‘Investnt in Hyun Young Pharmaceutical will be completed next month. The future news will be upgraded and beco a Master Class. There’s no justification for upgrading all the ti, but experience has shown that the higher the class, the stronger my power becos. I want to hold the stronger power.
‘Grand Master Class… and then like xxx… That’s the unknown class…
‘According to Custor Service, the unknown class has a much stronger skill than the previous classes. I don’t know what it is, but I really want it…’
